Back to the Beginning

Meeting Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy

Sunday – 30thof December – Potter Manor – 12:00 PM

"Hedwig…" I whispered to the small grave next to Cecil's grave. The rain poring hard onto my head. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you Hedwig." I closed my eyes and turned to Cecil's grave. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you either Cecil." I looked at my feet. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect either of you." Silence greeted my words. The rain stopped suddenly.

It's alright, Harry.

I snapped my head up and looked around.

"Who said that?" I said loudly. I looked around me and took out my wand.

I did, Harry. You can't see me but I've decided to interfere with your life again to help you.

"What do you mean?" I demanded. I continued looking around for the source of the voice.

I am Fate. I hold the fate of every person, animal and plant of this planet.

I stopped and looked up at the sky. My eyes widened at the golden rays that shined through the grey clouds and onto me. I stared with wide eyes.

"HARRY!" I didn't look to know that Sirius and Remus were running towards me.

I need to speak to you in private. Be prepared to be transported.

I continued looking into the sky and felt a particular beam of light hit me.

"HARRY!" I turned to look into Sirius' eyes. Sirius was reaching towards me with an outstretched hand. Remus was reaching out to me as well. I then closed my eyes as I was transported.

That's better.

I opened my eyes to see clouds all around me. My eyes widened and looked down. I was standing on a cloud.

"This shouldn't be possible." I muttered. A giggled met my words as a reply. "What did you need to talk to me about?" I asked softly.

I need you to defeat Dumbledore.

"Why? Why me? Why can't you do it?!" I asked angrily. A sigh was heard.

Because I am fate. I can't meddle with people's life without all of us agreeing on it.

"Who is 'us'?" I asked.

There are many of us. Life, Death, Love and much more. We watch over the planet and others.

"Then why are you talking to me?" I asked.

Because we have all agreed that yes, Dumbledore needs to be taken down but not by us. That's where you come in. That's the reason why I granted your wish.

"My wish…" I whispered softly. "You are the one that sent me back to restart my life. Didn't you?" I asked softly.

Yes. We all agreed that if the world continued as it was going, Dumbledore would remake an appearance, kill you and then take over the planet. The world would fight back and then wizards and muggles would be wiped out completely with a few nuclear explosions.

I gulped.

We have all agreed this is the last time we will meddle in your life. With this gift, we leave you to defeat Dumbledore. Do not fail us Savior.

I felt like I was falling and looked around to see that I was falling.

"AHHHHHHHH!" I started flapping my arms up and down. I looked down to see Potter Manor getting closer and closer. "No, no, no, no, no!" I said.

'It's alright Master.'

I felt a pair of claws caught me by my shoulders. I slowly looked up and my eyes widened.
